Anharmonic Crystal Interactions
Harmonic (Linear) Waves:
• Normal modes do not decay.
• Normal modes do not interact.
• No thermal expansion.
• Adiabatic & isothermal elastic constants are equal.
• Elastic constants are independent of P and T.
• C → constant for T > θ .

Thermal Conductivity
Heat current density:
J Q   T
κ = Thermal conductivity coefficient
For phonons,
JQ = JU .
Key features of kinetic theory (see L.E.Reichl, “A Modern Course of Statistical Mechanics”, §13.4 ):
1.Quantities not conserved in particle collisions are quickly thermalized to (global)
equilibrium values. (e.g., velocity directions & magnitudes )
2.Conserved quantities can remain out of global equilibrium (e.g., stay in local
equilibrium. They get transported spatially in the presence of a “gradient”.
3.MFP is determined by collisions that do not conserve the total momenta of particles.
Net amount of A(z) transported across the x-y plane at z0 in the +z direction per
unit area per unit time:

T > θ: all modes excited → no distinction between N- & U- processes → l  1/T.
T < θ: probability of U- processes & hence l 1 exp(–θ /2T).
Imperfections
Low T → umklapp processes negligible.
Geometric effect dominates.
Size effect: l > D = smallest dimension of specimen.

Metalic Ga: κ ~ 845W cm–1 K–1 at 1.8K.
